Skiing @ Horseshoe Valley

From December 19th to the 21st, Calvin was so generous as to invite Mac and I to go stay at horseshoe valley resort with him for 3 days. Considering I had never skied before in my life, I was slightly scared, but I knew that I was in good hands.
The first day of skiing, Mac and I just took the bunny hill lift ticket and rented some ski equipment.
After about 1-2 hours of Mac teaching me how to ski, we started to get kinda bored since we only had the bunny hill lift ticket. So Mac and I rented some snowboards. I don't really like it that much. Its kinda unnatural and it huts my knees. But I liked skiing a lot, it was fun.
In the evening, Calvin's parents made us a Chinese fondue, which was really good, and a great meal after a day of skiing. Then Calvin and Mac and I went to the hot tub and pool to relax.
The next day I did about 2 hours of skiing. Mac took me on a black diamond and I was scared for my life. I don't seem to like steep hills. I think it will take some getting used too, but in the end, I think I like skiing. I'm just going to have to get over my fear of steep hills I guess. We didn't take that many pictures cause we were just having too much fun. But here are a few that Calvin took on the first day.
